Hotel Information and Location

There are two recommended hotels to use for the conference. Both are located in good areas of the city with easy access to the public transportation system.

 

Club Quarters Philadelphia

1628 Chestnut Street,
Philadelphia, PA 19103-5119

Phone: (215) 282-5000
Fax: (215) 282-5001

The hotel is located in downtown Center City of Philadelphia, near most of the major shopping areas, restaurants, and bars. It is a bit under 1.5 miles from the conference hotel. It is a bit of a walk but an easy taxi or bus ride over. Driving is not recommended through the city as finding parking for a full day is difficult and expensive. Taxis are relatively inexpensive in Philadelphia.

Sheraton Philadelphia

3549 Chestnut Street,
Philadelphia, PA 19104

Phone: (215) 387-8000 ‎

The Sheraton is right around the corner from Levine Hall and is easily walkable.
